A complex, intimate, and highly idiosyncratic comedy, this film is a literary look at the triumph of reality over the human spirit. Anger rages in Philip (Jason Schwartzman) as he awaits the publication of his sure-to-succeed second novel. He feels pushed out of his adopted home city by the constant crowds and noise, a deteriorating relationship with his photographer girlfriend Ashley (Elisabeth Moss), and his indifference to promoting his own work. When Philip’s idol Ike Zimmerman (Jonathan Pryce) offers his isolated summer home as a refuge, he finally gets the peace and quiet to focus on his favorite subject – himself.

Reviews

Remarkably well-observed and rich. The skewering of these appalling characters is often riotously funny.
-INDIEWIRE
Terrific... a remarkable piece of work... A hilariously acidic look at the New York literary world and the complex and fragile egos within. - THE PLAYLIST
